A review of microalgal cell wall composition and degradation to enhance the recovery of biomolecules for biofuel production

Microalgal biomass has received much attention as a renewable energy source and a possible replacement for petroleum-based fuels. Currently, mechanical, thermal, and chemical cell disruption methods are limited in terms of economics, sustainability, and environmental friendliness. Because of this, b...
